"Who's that?" Alex asked.
"One of the company's [Stone Heart Ten]." Tingyun picked up the fan to cover his lips and moved closer to Alex. He unexpectedly found that it was quite cool next to Alex. He moved closer and said, "Demand the topaz."
托帕
It sounds very high-end, couldn't it be something like the Seven Stars of Liyue and the Fatui? Wait, debt collectors?
Alex thought of the game that gave him enough inspiration for the script - Genshin Impact.
He had also seen the Wings of Wind collected in the Black Tower Space Station and had specifically asked about it. That game world once existed in this universe, but someone deceived it.
It's better to be deceived, so that no one will live in my shadow.
"What are the Ten Stone Hearts? Are there also people who lend agate and collect rent for jade?"
"With Diamond, the director of the company's strategic investment department, as the core..." Tingyun didn't know how to explain it, and said, "In short, they are ten very powerful people in the company."
"Everyone. I'm Moss, the director of Interstellar Peace Company." While Tingyun and Alex were chatting, Moss, the company's director, had already walked to the center. He stood in front of the microphone, facing the camera, smiled and said, "I've been here for two years. The funny thing is that no one in the company noticed my arrival. During these two years, I successfully used my authority in the company to destroy the economies of three planets, spreading the destruction of famine, unrest, and war to them."
There was a commotion in the crowd. What did this Moss say make people feel chilled? Alex also frowned. He felt something was wrong. No matter how arrogant the company was, it would never say such things to one's face.
Isn't this the way to demonstrate military power?
This is a live broadcast. Alex pulled Bronya aside. At this time, the staff of the central government, including Topa, looked at the director with puzzled expressions.
"Cut off the live broadcast."
People from the companies behind the square had already started walking towards Morse; these remarks had already made them aware of something unusual.
"Interstellar Peace Company." Moss had a strange smile on his face, and the voice gradually changed from a male voice to a female voice. Moss looked at the camera.
Click.
"oh!!"
Everyone cried out in surprise, because at that moment, Moss's head dropped down as if it had been twisted off. He maintained this terrifying posture and said provocatively, "Guess who will be the next executive I replace?"
thump—
He lost his breath and fell to the ground in front of everyone.
No one who came to the square to watch the speech expected this to happen, and at this moment, another voice sounded:
"The director was assassinated, seal off the scene!"
Hiss. Alex took a breath and sealed off the scene? Why is this déjà vu so strange?
"Uncle, should we run away first?" Bronya reacted and prepared to escape.
"Why are you running? If we escape, we'll be wanted criminals." Alex didn't want to become a wanted criminal in the first place. At most, he would be interrogated. What does this have to do with tourists like us?
and many more?
Alex calmed his mind, and everything around him slowed down. He turned his head to look to his left, and in the distance a man in white clothes and with long blond hair was looking at him, and then he looked to the right.
A woman with an eye mask and frosted hair turned her head.
Who?
In a flash, the two men were hidden by the crowd.
Chapter 70 Let Me Try the Knife!
"The director was assassinated, seal off the scene!"
"Attention, security team, surround all personnel in the square!"
All the drones in the sky of the square showed their weapons to the onlookers. In the center, several people who were originally near Moss quickly began to rescue him. There was nothing to save. Moss's body began to rot quickly and emitted a foul odor. Signs showed that he had been dead for more than two years and the company could not save him.
"Bronya, hold on to me." Alex smelled a burnt stench of destruction, and said to Tingyun who was stunned at the side: "Miss Tingyun, too, please come behind me."
"Thank you, sir." Tingyun didn't expect to see such a scene before leaving. She felt that Alex gave her an inexplicable sense of security, so she obediently hid behind him.
Hmm? That voyeuristic feeling comes back again.
Is it an invisible enemy? Alex looked up at the square in front of him. He could feel that there was a strange presence looking at him.
Including the two people in strange costumes that he couldn’t figure out, who were they?
But do you dare to come? Alex narrowed his eyes, and the feeling of being watched suddenly disappeared.
"Fleming City is under martial law!"
All the airships in the sky lit up warning signs, and red beam walls descended from the sky, surrounding the entire Fleming City. People were already shocked by the director's speech, and then they were frightened by the head-turning killing. Before they could digest any information, they were surrounded by the company's armed guards!
"Hey, what does this have to do with us? I'm just a tourist."
"Don't point the gun at us."
"Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
The crowd began to riot, but the company had its own way of doing things and ignored the commotion.
"Quiet!"
Following the voice of the person on the stage, all the armed equipment began to charge, ready to open fire and wipe out the entire square. The lady with glasses in the center of the square said, "There are scoundrels who have sneaked into the venue and are now among you. Please do not be deceived. Those who cooperate with the company's inspection can leave safely, and we will compensate them with credit points. However, those who take the lead in instigating, causing trouble, leaving without permission, and disrupting order will be charged with violating the Qianxing Emergency Regulations and killed on the spot!"
With just one sentence, the thousands of people gathered here suddenly quieted down.
"Lord Extinction, Phantom." Topa, who was standing behind the lady, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "It's 100% her. She should be near us now."
The lady with glasses looked back at Topa, who nodded and repeated, "100% probability."
Huanlong, with a thousand different appearances, is one of the seven extinction lords under the Antimatter Corps. Huanlong is different from the other extinction lords. What she wants is people's despair, pain, suspicion, and collapse. She is fond of both spiritual and material destruction, leading to the demise of the body from the collapse of the soul, disintegrating the spiritual pillars of the planet, promoting the collapse of trust within civilization, and making people completely abandon hope.
What a good move! It really caused a lot of trouble. A senior director of the company was replaced by Huanlong, and he also helped to destroy three planets. This incident has a huge impact on the company's reputation. This news must be completely blocked and not let other places know.
At this time, all the company staff present had speculations: Not only that, the most terrifying thing is that the methods she displayed will even cause internal chaos in the company. From now on, anyone may be a fake Huanlong. Even if she does nothing next, the seeds of distrust will be planted.
"Topa, find her, can you do it?"
Such a dangerous person cannot stay in Qianxing any longer.
"I can give it a try." Topa raised the corner of his mouth, took out a sci-fi-style pistol, and said, "She shouldn't have gone far. She's lurking on one of the people in this square."
The company began to divide thousands of people into several blocks through laser guidance, and some expressionless senior executives with mechanical guards began to check and inspect each area. Alex was not in a hurry and followed the guidance to line up for inspection.
"This is really a rare experience." Tingyun followed Alex like Bronya and thought, "Is it the Lord of Extinction under Jinmiehuzu? Oh, that's the Star God of Destruction that the aliens often talk about."
Seeing Alex and Bronya looking at her in confusion, she added. The way the immortal boat addressed the star gods was somewhat different from other places. But this was not good news. Tingyun knew that once those extinction lords took action, they would definitely aim to destroy a civilization, a planet, or even a galaxy.
Qianxing will probably be blocked immediately, and there is a certain probability that it will be involved in the battle of the antimatter army. Tingyun thought with some worry: I didn't expect that the safest place in this trip, the company's territory, would become the most dangerous place. No one knows what will happen next.
"Uncle." Bronya looked at Alex with the same worry. Everyone who set foot on the star sea had heard of the reputation of the Antimatter Corps and the Lord of Extinction. Not to mention, there was an endless hatred of civilization destruction between Yalilo VI and the Corps.
"Don't be nervous."
There is a guardian in the company, but there is only one. However, this does not mean that they have no ability to fight against the guardian. It's just that using other conventional methods to fight against the guardian will cost a lot of money and sacrifice.
"We'll return to the Beloberg as soon as we're done here." Alex smiled and comforted Bronya, saying, "If this Lord of Extinction dares to mess with me, I'll tie him up with a chain and make him a dog for the Beloberg, just like Kyon."
Alex didn't know whether it would work or not, anyway, he had the authority to infuse the power of nothingness. But he had to say this to reassure the little girl. Tingyun, who was standing by, heard this and looked at Alex several more times with his wonderful eyes. He didn't expect that this young man he met on the journey was not only arrogant, but also really bold and skilled.
Even her generals didn't dare to say such words.
"Wait for the inspection." Alex was patient.
but……
"Respected Guardian, why are you here too?" A humble voice came to Alex's ears. He turned around and found a blue-haired young man, rubbing his hands and looking at him with squinted eyes and smiling.
"Sambo?"
How come you, a boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are here too? Is joy really everywhere? Sambo showed a flattering smile. He was very used to playing the clown. He said, "I didn't expect the Beloberg to come too. I have to go back to see my family, too. Hey, Miss Tingyun."
"It's Mr. Sambo, hello."
Alex was a little surprised that Sangbo actually knew Tingyun. Sangbo explained, "After being kicked out of the house by the adults, I could only do some business to make a living. Everyone in Qianxing is talented and speaks well. I like this place very much. I met Miss Tingyun by chance while doing business."
He stepped forward, lowered his voice, and whispered in Alex's ear: "My lord, the situation here is confusing. How about I take you away from here? No one will notice my smoke bomb. A group of mysterious guys are stirring up trouble. The fuse of the war between the gods of destruction, hunting, and abundance is spreading. My 'homeland', the Beloberg, cannot withstand this kind of anger."
Would a joyful envoy be afraid of such a thing? Alex looked at Sambo with a sidelong glance and said, "Am I disturbing your fun?"
"Oh, sir, please don't be so blunt. But looking at what you said, it is true that this time I, Sambo, am just a spectator. Well, don't worry, I dare not make fun of you." Sambo felt the pressure coming from Alex and quickly explained that he dared not provoke this master.
"I can't explain it after I leave."
"That's true. After all, you are in the front row, and no one can ignore your brilliance and handsomeness. I think the people in the company have noticed it." Sambo said, "Then I, Sambo, will go first. If you want to get some information, there is a tavern called 'World Center' in Fleming City. It is the gathering place of the Masked Fool. If you go there, everyone will warmly welcome you."
As he spoke, Sambo stepped back, as if no one knew how he suddenly appeared here, and no one knew how he left.
"This gentleman."
During the conversation, Topa, one of the Stoneheart Ten, came to Alex. With a smile on her face, she looked at Alex and said, "Can you cooperate with my inspection?"
This leg... Alex lowered his head and glanced at the red weapon belt tied on the other's thigh. It was comparable to the beauty of "Ten years of alchemy, no one cares, but once the fleshy legs are known to the world". He looked at the white-haired girl in front of him and said, "Miss, how should I cooperate?"
"Alex Rand, a member of the Beloberg, and Bronya Rand, a member of the Beloberg." Topa pressed her earphone with her right hand, and a projection screen appeared in her hand. She scanned the information of the two people at a glance, and quickly analyzed it while reading: "They are from the frozen world of Yalilo VI. They have suffered the invasion of the antimatter army and the disaster of the star core. They returned to the star sea after a thousand years. The latest information is that they have retained a population of more than 200,000 under the protection of the Amber King, but it has not been confirmed. The starship they are driving was once registered as the Narudoug, a stolen property of the Annihilation Gang."
"And you just happened to come to Thousand Stars at this time, to the Founder's Square of Fleming City, and witnessed all this in the front row. So, the probability that you betrayed the Amber King, became a vassal of the Legion, and came here to meet the Extinction Lord Huanlong is..."
Bronya was already showing a look of alertness, but Alex remained expressionless. After drawing out the tone, Toppa looked at the expressions of the two and said, "19%."
How did you come up with this number? Alex looked at Topa with a smile and asked, "And then?"
Topa said, "Sir, please go back to the Beloberg and don't go out, okay?"
Alex said nonchalantly, "Sure."
"Guards, escort you two back to D039 Airport."
"These two are my friends." Alex looked at Tingyun and the fox guard behind him and said, "I invite them to visit us. Is that okay?"
"Ms. Tingyun." Topa looked at Tingyun and said after a while: "23%."
How come Tingyun's chance is higher than ours? Seeing Tingyun's strange expression, Topa said, "No problem, please follow the guards and leave in an orderly manner."
"Lord Topa, this is against the rules."
After the four people left, someone behind them reminded them: "The suspects must be concentrated in the square."
"Then you guys keep an eye on him?" Topa turned his head and blinked. "A man who single-handedly destroyed an Annihilation Gang Star Destroyer is being detained here. Aren't you afraid that more company executives will get hurt? It will be easier to deal with him if you let him go."
……
"Qianxing has completely closed its port."
Under the "escort" of the mechanical guards, Tingyun followed Alex into the elevator and headed back to the airport area. She said, "I'm sorry to bother you, sir. I just saw that everyone with a probability other than 0% was detained in the square. If you hadn't invited me, I would have had to stay there for a while."
They were the few who were allowed to leave. Alex recalled that the company should have investigated the origins of the Beloberg. In Yepela, he freed many slaves but did not leave their names. That Topa probably immediately connected them to them.
He knew that he was not someone to be trifled with, and if there was to be a conflict, it should not take place in Fleming City, but on the Beloberg.
He is a smart man.
"fine."
The company is not an idiot. What they want is stability in their business, not making enemies everywhere. This port blockade will not last long. From the company's point of view, it may be better to force the other party to leave rather than fight directly here.
The elevator quickly passed through the seventh floor, the sixth floor, and arrived at the resort planet on the fifth floor. Alex kept thinking about what Sambo said: hunting, abundance, and the war of gods of destruction. Sambo was a slick guy, but he might not be lying. For the Masked Fool, watching a play and having fun is the pursuit of life. This wonderful show involves conflicts with other star gods, and they will definitely move their stools and prepare watermelons and melon seeds to watch the show in the tavern.
So, his reminder was genuine, hoping that he, a person whom the Masked Fools didn't want to provoke, would not disrupt the situation. But...
This is obviously a matter between Destruction and Company, but where do hunting and abundance fit in?
Hunting?
Alex looked at Tingyun, who also looked at him with a puzzled smile. If it came to hunting and abundance, they were mortal enemies, so how could Destruction be involved? It couldn't be that the Lord of Extinction would go back to the Immortal Boat to cause trouble on Tingyun's behalf, right?
Impossible, impossible. She's a computer character. If it weren't for my appearance, she wouldn't have survived to play the game. How is that possible?
Alex shook the thought away, but recalled the voyeuristic feeling.
Do not……
Just now in the square, it might not have been me who was looking at it.
Because Tingyun is right behind me.
twice!
"What's wrong, sir?" Tingyun saw Alex staring at his face, and he tidied his furry ears shyly and asked, "But what stolen goods does Tingyun have?"
Alex was about to speak when he suddenly saw the reflection in the mirror and said, "Hold on to me!"
